No man clears a room with such 'cxped:tion as the Hon. Gentleman. Let the House of Commons be ever so full when he rises, it is pretty sure to be half empty before he has resumed his seat ; and, ac cordingly, we find that the Essex Conservati ves enter taining, despite his congenial politics,-the same horror of his insufferable dullness and prolixity, broke up im mediately after he had concluded, incapacitated, no doubt; for sustaining any further oratorical inflictions. Of course, among the toasts given at this gathering of " Essex calves," the Church held - a foremost place; and equally as a matter of course, a clergyman was found to declare that " it was his pride to belong to an Establishment which was the glory and envy of the . world, and from which emanated the peace and happi ness of this great empire." The gentleman who vo lunteered this diverting declaration was Dr. BAR RETT, and who must evidently have had Ireland and the tithe-hunts—to say nothing of the Dissenters and their grievances—in his eye, when he spoke of the Protestant Establishment being mainly instrumental in securing " peace and happiness" to the kingdom " Did they not see," continued the Rev. speaker, " that the effort to lessen the income of the clergy was in order that the efficiency of the Establishment might be impaired ?" How thoroughly parsonic is this re mark ! It is neither more nor less than a virtual acknowledgment that the " efficiency" of the Church consists exclusively in its wealth, and that to reduce that wealth within becoming limits, is to strike at the very root of Protestantism. Whenever a parson talks of the Church, be sure he means its revenues. These are the substantial recommendations that give it value and " efficiency" in his eyes. Let others praise the apostolic purity of its doctrines ; his business is with its temporalities. He cannot conceive the possibility of a poor establishment being an effective one ; hence he resist s all attempts to curtail its exorbitant means, as a deliberate assault on the great, vital truths of Christianity. The Reverend Doctor went on to argue that if the Church revenues were reduced, such reduc t: en would be attended with this frightful conse quence, that the Clergy would be unable to " manifest those acts of charity which so constantly marked their conduct." Now we cannot help differing with the Doctor on this point. The cause of charity will never be injured by the Bis h o p s bein g compell e d to li ve more after the apostolic fashion than they do at present ; but on the contrary, w ill gain by it, for it w ill teach them to put in practice that which they now on l y profess _ namely, the lessons of moderation, self-denial, and hu mility, which are the ground-work on which charity is the most th at built up. It is not those who have give the most, but in the majority of mstances, diame trically the reverse. A Bishop having no factitious wants—no extravagant or luxurious establishment to keep up, would be enabled to give away much more in c h ar ity th an h e can ever do under the present system. But this does not square with the Reverend Speaker's views. He is all for a rich Church Establishment ; and laments with a pathos that might melt the soul of a Hindoo, that " the Clergy of the Church of England are worse paid than those of the Church of Scotland." Again we repeat, how parsonic is this observation Pay— pay —nothing but pay —enters into a Clergyman's head when speaking of his Church. The " loaves and fishes" is that passage in the New Testament which he has most by heart, and to which he oftenest alludes. He can see no difference between the Church of England and the Church of Scotland, except that the one is better paid than the other. He forgets that the first apostles were poor fishermen ; that the Divine Founder of his faith was born in a manger, and " had not where to lay his head ;" it is enough for him to remember that tithes are no where spoken against in Scripture ; and consequently that it is the bounden duty of all the really pious to pay them to the utmost fraction. From the sore way in which Dr. BARRETT alludes to the poverty of the Church, we conclude that his flock are not quite so regular in their payments as he could desire. Possibly the tithe-pig has been miss- 1 0 a for some months. In the 29th Number of the Portfolio we find a sum mary of the moral statistics of the western part of the central provinces of Russia, from an official statement drawn up by C. F. HERMANN, by command of the Emperor NICHOLAS. Such a work, were it to in clude the statistics, political and moral, of the whole empire, divided regularly into districts or provinces, would be truly invaluable. The summary before us only refers to the moral statistics of about ten millions and a half of people, and as there is no uniformity in the habits of the entire Russian population, it offers no secure data whereon to found a theory applicable to the moral state of the whole empire. The statistical tables, which are for the years 1821 and 1822, may be thus arranged with respect to the crimes of suicide and homicide : Population 10,593,251 Suicides (proved) Suicides (doubtful) ••• 3OO Homicides Giving Suicides in proportion to the inhabitants in the ratio of 1 to 16,000, and Homicides in the ratio of 1 to 50,000. The proportion of male and female Suicides as 4 5-9ths to 1. The following is the ratio in which these crimes were committed among the different classes of society in Russia : Suicides—Peasants or serfs, 956 ; being in the ratio of 1 to 16,7571 of both sexes. Merchants, 192 ; being in the proportion of 1 to 20,8331. Soldiers, 113; or in the proportion of 1 to 3,009. Nobles, 36; or 1 in 11,111. Clergy, 8 ; or 1 in 25,000. What must particularly strike every philosophical 'reader, who examines this table, is the great prevalence of suicide among the serfs, to the almost total exclu sion of every other class, except the army. Now, in a well regulated state of society, the peasantry are the very last to meditate suicide ; and wherever the government is well administered, its commission is very rare among them. The reason is obvious. - They are neither the victims of excessive hope or fear. They are not exposed to the instability of fortune ; and they arc equally strangers to the elations of spirit which result from the triumphs of ambition, and the suicidal depressions which link themselves as dead weights to the bitter ness of disappointments. Their mine of wealth is in their limbs, and they know no ambition more exalted than the right of employing them in tilling and im proving the soil for their own sustenance. Nothing, therefore, short of the most cruel tyranny can drive such men to think of suicide ; and the prevalence of such a crime among them proves their condition to be the most miserable that can possibly be imagined. Suicide among merchants and in the very highest circles in Russia is less common than we were prepared to expect. The prevalence of this crime among the commercial men of every country is easily accounted for by the heavy losses, and sudden reverses of fortune to which they are constantly exposed, and of which they are so frequently the hapless victims. The shock attendant on a momentary plunge from affluence t o squalid penury is more than most minds ar3 able to bear, if not previously imbued with a good stock of moral and religious sentiments. With the nobility the case is pretty nearly the same as with the merchants. Debauchery and ambition are to the highest classes what the excessive desire to accumulate gain is to the mercantile world— the great incentives to the commission of suicide. Du; the very form of the Russian Government, which pre vents every Noble from obtaining rank who does not pass step by step through the regular grades in the army, the civil service, or the Church ; and which takes good care that none of its merchants shall accumulate too much private wealth, indirectly represses all tempta tions to suicide among the middling and higher classes. As to the crime of homicide, we may always expect to find it most prevalent among the most ignorant portion of every community. Russia presents no exception to this rule. In proportion to their numbers the rich are as frequently guilty of murder as the poor, except in those cases where an act of robbery is meditated, but which, from the resistance offered by the party as sailed, unexpectedly terminates in murder. Not so with homicide, which precludes all deliberation in its commission, and is mostly the consequence of violent passion, produced or fostered by drunkenness. In 1832 the number of Universities in Russia was ten—namely, in St. Petcrsbur i gh, in Moscow, in Charkow, Kozou,. in Dorpat, in Kijew, in Witepsk, in Odessa, in rifles, and in Siberia. The following is a synopsis of the general state of education in the Russian empire, as regards both Universities and schools of every description:— Universities _ Number of Professors employed in the five first above- named, the others, being not yet organized Number of Students Left she Universities, having taken degrees Left without degrees IE33 Numbers of Lyceums and Gymnases in Russia 5l Number of Common Schools Number of Masters in all Number of Scholars in all The Universities of `Vilna and Warsaw, together with several literary institutions of great merit, have been suppressed, by order of the Emperor, since the close of the Polish struggle of 1830. According to the official tables published by M. UwA allow, Minister of Public Instruction, education is retrogading in Russia since 1830, while in Poland it is now all but extinct. In 1833, there were but 582 parish and village school and 40.1 boarding schools in the whole empire—or not more than half so many as there are in the City of London alone ! In Poland, in 1831, not more than between six and seven thou sand children—most of them Russians—enjoyed the benefit of being permitted to learn the very rudi ments of education. The system remains unchanged, as it is hardly necessary to observe, that what is termed a Collegiate or University course of education in Russia, is not much calculated to raise men in the scale of moral being. The sciences of Po litical Economy, Politics, and Jurisprudence, are wholly omitted, and in their room the students are taught a little barbarous latin, strategy, and the ritual of the Greek Church. Owing to the stormy state of the weather the Fren c h and German mails, due on Sunday night, have not yet arrived. We are therefore without any intel ligence f rom the Continent. Should the packets ar rive b e f ore post hour this evening, we shall give what ever important news they bring in a second edition.

Six themselves long enough effectually Ministries have succeeded each since 1830, without reckoning the partial modifications they have experienced. The first, formed in the month of August, sm, at the head of which figured MM. Guizot and Mole , retreated three months afterwards f r o m b e fore the trial of the ex-li s ter s The Laflitte Ministry had: no loner g duration. It gave place, on " the 13th of M a r c h, 1831, to that of Perier. At the end o the year Perk.- (lied, and il,i nein;y i>: months e boa o f interim continued, w ith ou t power to replace him. The Ministry of the 1 1 th of October, 1832, at length formed itself under the presidency o f Marshal Soult. Here M. Guizot reappears, and M. Thiers appears for the first time. Their united efforts give a longer life to the Ministry, 'but it is carried on through many modifications and crises. MM. Bantle, D'Argout, Soult, Humaun, retire in succession. Twice the Ministry suffer a momentary dissolution—in Octo ber, 1834, by the retirement of Marshal Gerard ; in February, 1835, by that of the Duke de Treviso. It is distracted by the rivalry of its two most influential members ( Guizot and Thiers) neither of whom chooses to submit to the presidency of the other. In February, 1836, this Ministry i s dissolved for a third and last time be a vote of the Chamber. A new one is formed, under the presidency of the younger of the two compe titors (Thiers), and, under the influence of a new opinion, or rather of a new situation. The Ministry lasts not above six months ; born on the 22d of February, it is superseded on the 6th of September.--Paris Paper. SUlClDE.—Yesterday the Aberdeen and London Steam Navigation Company's vessel Duke of Wellington, Captain Walker, arrived from Aberdeen. The Duke of Wel lington sailed from Aberdeen on Sunday last at one A.M. ; the wind at the time blowing strong from north-east, accompanied with rain. Soon after the passengers had breakfasted that morning, the cook, George Allan, having previously deposited his silver watch and money in one of his lockers, leaped over board and was drowned. Immediately before the rash act, the unfortunate man took off his shoes, and presenting them to one of the men on board, said—" Wear these for my sake." Before the slightest suspicion of self-destruction was en gendered, Allan had thrown himself into the sea in front of the larboard paddle-box, and was never again seen. At the time of the lamentable catastrophe, Captain Walker and several of the passengers were upon deck, but could not render the slightest assistance. The steam-ship was immediately stopped, and Captain Walker ascended the shrouds, but the unfortunate man was not to be seen. Allan has left a widow with five or six children to bewail his loss. A liberal sub scription for their temporary relief was made amongst the passengers. A German valet of Mr. Justice Williams has been pillaging him and Lady Williams to a great extent for some time, and the other day Sir John missed his watch, and his lady lost a banker's cheek for thirty pounds. The latter led to the discovery of the thief ; and on being searched, the du plicate of the watch, left at a neighbouring pawnbroker's, was found. He had lived five years in the family, and the Judge very leniently dismissed him without prosecution. The fourteenth exhibition at the Manchester In stitution was opened last week. There is an increase both in number of exhibitors and of pictures. In 1835, 230 exhibitors sent 476 oil paintings or water-colour engravings, and 19 pieces of sculpture. To the present exhibition 278 exhibitors have sent 572 paintings, &c., and 19 pieces of sculpture. There is an increase, therefore, of 48 exhibitors and 96 pic tures over the exhibition of last year, which was, we believe, one of if not the largest before known. The Dissenters of the three denominations at Beccles have met, and passed a resolution to adopt the system of passive resistance to the payment of church-rates; and they have appointed a Committee to correspond with the Pro visional Committee in London as to the best mode of con duct, should any attempt be made to enforce the rate. There is posted at present at Guildhall, Bristol, ob jections to nine hundred freemen whose names are inserted in the burgesses roll. This will afford some work for the Revising Barristers. We are glad to hear, that, in case of a new election, the Reformers in Scotland arc sure at least to maintain their ground, if not to extend it. In Roxburghshire, Captain El liot is now sure of his election. owing to the result of the late registration courts. Mr. Ellice, jun., is sure of the Five Burghs; Mr. Macleod of the Inverness Burghs'; and Mr. Gibson Craig of the county of Edinburgh. Mr. Forbes will be turned out of Stirlingshire, to make way for the Hon. Admiral Fleming. There may be changes in some other places, of which, however, we are not aware; but on the whole the cause of reform and sound principle is sure of gaining a triumph. At Bristol it is anticipated that the advantages of the railway from that place to London will be immense to the agricultural interest. The minimum velocity is to be forty miles an hour, and therefore, at the slowest rate of travelling, cattle landed at Bristol quay at five in the morning may be in Smithfield-market when the clock strikes eight. A locomotive engine, of the most superior work manship, which has just been constructed for the Petersburgh and Pawlowsky Railway, at the manufactory of Messrs. R. Stephenson and Co., South-street, Newcastle, had its trial on Saturday last at the above establishment, and exceeded the extraordinary speed of 65i miles per hour !—Durham Advert. WOOL SALE.—Yesterday evening, at Garraway's, there was submitted 960 bales of Australian, 40 of Van Diemen's Land, 137 of Cape, 46 German, 105 Africa, and 15 of Portugal, wool; in all, 1,314 bales, which went og with spirit at former quotations. TWOPENNY ROPE.—" And pray, Sam, what is the twopenny rope ? " inquired Mr. Pickwick. " The two penny rope I Sir," replied Mr. Weller. "It is just a cheap lodgin' house, vere the beds is twopence a night." i 0 What do you call a bed a rope for ? " said Mr. Pickwick. " Bless your innocence, Sir, that an't it," replied Sam. " Ven the lady and gen'lman as keeps the ho-tel first begun business, they used to make the beds on the floor; but this wouldn't do at no price, 'cos, instead of taking a moderate twopenn'orth o' sleep, the lodgers used to lie there half the day. So now they has two ropes, 'bout six foot . apart, and three from the floor, which goes right down the room ; and the beds are made of slips of coarse sacking stretched across 'cm." " Well," said Mr. Pickwick. " Well," said Mr. Weller, "the adwantagc o' the plan 's hobvious. At six o'clock every mornin' they lets go the ropes at one end, and down falls all the lodgers. 'Con sequence is, that being thoroughly waked, they get up very quietly and walk away."—Posthzonous Papers of the Pick wick Club. On Saturday, during the voyage of the Lord Mel ville, Calais steamer, a young lady was robbed of a purse, which she left in a basket on one of the benches on deck while she went below to take some refreshment. The thief was not discovered. YACHT CLUB.—This valuable Society is likely to be broken up, the Secretary having given notice. to the pro prietor of the Club House, at Cowes, to quit next July. FLOODs.—The unintermitting and heavy rain which we had last Saturday, and which first came from the south, and veered round to almost every other point, had the effect of swelling all the rivers in this district to overflowing. The 'ejury which has been sustained in consequence has been very great. In many places large quantities of flax and hay have been swept away ; and we have heard also of some in stances of cattle having been destroyed ; and even yet several flat fields on the borders of the rivers arc under water, and it is apprehended that such crops of potatoes as are growing upon them will be irrecoverably lost. Old people say that more unpromising harvest weather they do not remember. It cer tainly is as bad as that of the year 1816. —Derry Journal. CLOVER SEED TRADE.—Considerable demand has existed in conseqnence of the late rains for red clover seed. It is not doubted that scarcely any of the maiden crop in Eng land ;las been saved, and without a very early and very decided change of weather, poor yield is looked for from the later clo vers. Accounts are moreover by no means favourable from the Continent, and purchases arc being made by houses connected with the foreign trade, as well as by English dealers. An ad vance of fully 6s. to Bs. per cwt. on foreign seed in bond is sub • mitted to, and we think the sales would be extensive, but that there is a very limited quantity in offer. White clover and trefoil steady. Trifolium dull, and a shade lower. The Munich papers have the following account from Athens :—" Emigration to Greece from the neighbouring countries is increasing in a very satisfactory manner. More than 1,800 families of nomade herdsmen from Epirus, Mace donia, and Thessaly have already arrived, and have brought with them 500,000 sheep and goats, and 20,000 horses. Though they have hitherto led a nomade life, they have requested the Greek Government to be incorporated in different communes of the kingdom. Besides these, there are about 3,000 fa milies from the Aspropotamos, among whom are many me chanics and country people, who also have desired to bo incor ' porated into various communes. Many of them have already began to build houses, to cultivate land, &c. The Ipsariots, too, seem disposed finally to settle in Eretia, now that the Government has granted them some advantages. HASTINGS.—This favourite place of resort is com paratively thinly attended, compared with the last few seasons, both as regards the rank and number of visitors. St. Leo nard's is also very thinly attended. Kidbroke Park, the seat of Lord and Lady Col chester, has lately been devoted to a numerous and splendid party, on the occasion of a fancy fair being held in aid of the funds for building the new Trinity Church at East Grinstead. In addition to the noble host and hostess there were present, the Earl and Countess of Chichester, Countess of Ely, Earl of Liverpool and Ladies Jenkinson, Lord Ellenborough and Hon. Mr. Law, Hon. Misses Law, and about 1,000 of the respectable inhabitants of the vicinity. After defraying the expenses, the two days' fair netted upwards of 4001. WORTHING, SEPT. 10—On Monday next, the 19th instant, our races take place. The Earl of Surrey, Sir Richard Hunter, and T. B. Danbey, Esq., have accepted the office of stewards. The recent arrivals include Lord and Lady Warwick, Lady Caroline Neeld, Sir James and Lady Macgregor, Sir T. Shelley, Hon. General Bligh, Hon. Au gustus Berkeley, Lady and Miss Hippesley, Lord Brook, Major Chester and family, &c. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPT. 11.—The Marquis of Ely and party continue their sojourn here, and we aro tole rably full of company. Lord Melbourne has paid us a short visit. The Marquis Cornwallis and Lord Langdale are daily expected. Albemarle-street, one of the dullest, but not the least frequented streets of the metropolis, is undergoing much improvement ; besides the whole of the pavement being re laid, nearly every second house is undergoing external repair and decoration. QUEEN'S THEATRE.---This favourite place o• amusement has been well attended during the last week{ Among the fashionables were the Countess of Charleville, Lady Montfort, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Stanhope, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Gardner, General and Mrs. Barton, the Hon. E. Byng, Sir John Osborne, and many other persons of distinction. MADAME MALIBRAN.--This distinguished voca list received a mark of Royal favour last week, almost unpre cedented in the "annals of song." At Aix la Chapelle, after the close of the opera of La Sonnambula, in which she had been performing with the German artiste:, by command of the King, the soldiers on duty at her departure presented arms and gave the salute (hitherto alone obs?rved to members of the Royal family), as a mark of respect to her talented perfor mances. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. A meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of the London Grand Junction Railway Company took place this day at the City of London Tavern, pursuant to advertisement, for the purpose of affording the Directtis an opportunity of laying before the Proprietors a statement of the affairs of the Com pany. At one o'clock the chair was taken by Sir SAMUEL WixALLET, Bart., ill. P., who observed that the first duty, in compliance with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, was to legalize the votes of such of the Proprietors as had not sub scribed the Parliamentary Deed, by affixing the Common Seal of the Company to the Registry of Proprietors now produced. The question that the Common Seal of the Company be affixed, was then put and agreed to. This ceremony having been gone through, The CHAIRMAN said it now became his duty to call the at tention of the Proprietors to the various circumstances usually laid before a first meeting of Proprietors ; but be confessed that there were other circumstances which did not usually come before a first meeting. He regretted that the chair was not more ably filled, and he could assure them that nothing could give him more gratification than to see that chair filled by some gentleman whose commercial eminence lin the busy world in which they were assembled, would have carried with him by his name and weight the una nimous sentiments of the meeting.—( Hear.) Undoubtedly it was not his fault that such was the case, and that the Chair of what he ( Sir S. Whalley) believed would be one of the first commercial companies in the world, was not filled by one of their first commercial men. He would assure them that it was no speculative spirit that had placed him in the situation he now occupied, but the very circumstances of the Company, and the various measures they were cane , ' upon by the Legislature to execute, was his apology for appearing now before them. When the measure was first entertained, and he knew not by whom it was projected, it seemed but just and reasonable, ' before they attempted to carry a railway through the whole of the Borough which he bad the honour to represent, to ascertain what were the opinions of its representatives. The measure was accordingly submitted to his ( Sir S. W.'s) consideration. It must be obvious that upon such a project he could not remain neuter, as it was one which materially affected the interests of his constituents. After having given it the most unbiassed consideration, he had come to the conclusion that it would be most beneficial to the Proprietors, and to the trade and commerce of their great city, and therefore he had taken up the matter (and on this subject he would appeal to his brother directors) most cordially. He believed and was still satisfied, that it would be a most valuable Company.--( Hear. ) Very early after he had joined the Company he was elected to fill his present situation, which he had filled up to the present day. He and the Directors had always looked forward to the first meeting of the Proprietary as the crowning reward of their labours ; and, without wishing to depreciate the services of any other body of Directors, he would say that the labours of the friends around him had been the most laborious, respon sible, and delicate of any. Instead, however, of appearing before the proprietary merely to claim that meed of approbation, they were almost called upon to justify their conduct in the dis charge of their duties. He had a short time ago regretted that the chair was not filled by a commercial gentleman of weight. He would now say that he would not under the circumstances have let any one fill the Chair. If the Directors were to be blamed at all, he.was the person who was to bear the greater share of the blame, for nothing had been done without his consent and approbation. In fact, never had the Directors disagreed except on one unfortunate occasion, to which he would have occasion to allude at a later period of his address. He begged their attention for rather a lengthened ad dress, and in return he promised to hear, with the utmost patience and attention whatever any shareholder had to say. Complaints had been made that the Directors had been dabbling in shares. He was responsible for that if it was the fact ; for when shares got to a premium the share-book was pnt in his sole custody. He was responsible for what they did only with the shares of the Company ; with their own shares they might deal with as they pleased ; he had no right to interfere nor to inquire. He, however, would now de clare that he yet held every share which had been allotted to him, with an addition of 100, was inscribed in the book of Registry which had just been sealed. He had not been tempted by a premium, nor had he been afraid when the shares arrived at a discount.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He did not claim any merit for this, because he had no power or right to inquire what the Directors had done, if they had not thought as he had, and had parted with their shares, he pitied them. Two gentlemen of the name of Richardson and himself he believed to be the largest proprietors in the Corn pang.—( Cheers.) That had been made an accusation against them. It had been said that the Directors ought not to have a large number of shares ; he thought otherwise. What was the the real truth of the case ? Why, if parties wished to know whether a Company was likely to be flourishing or not, the first inquiry they made was how many shares the Direc tors held, and if they found that the Directors, who, to use a theatrical phrase, were behind the scenes, -held a large num ber of shares, they felt confident it was a good undertaking : if they did not, they instantly determined to have as little to do with the Company as they well could.—(Cheers.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 14, 15.16. SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) Sarah Lyons and Mary Steel, two young girls of tho town, were indicted for stealing from the person of John Chapman on the 22d of August, a silk handkerchief. The prosecutor, a grocer's shopman, iva.s proceeding from the Borough to Kennington on the night in question, when the two young ladies accosted him, and invited him to accom pany them home; he declined, but he accompanied them to the Brown Bear public-house, where be "stood" a drop of • gin. Upon leaving the house; the prisoners objected to be seen walking in the highway, and he went with them up a bye street. While talking with them there, one of them conveyed his pocket handkerchief from his pocket, as he missed it as soon as they went away. He followed theal and gave them into custody. On the way to the Station-house, the police man saw Steel drop the handkerchief, which he picked up. - Mr. DpNnAn cross-examined the prosecutor at great length, but he strenuously denied that any other intimacy took place between them than be bad stated. The prisoners said nothinm in their defence, and the Jury, to the astonishment of the Court, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty." The CnninNtArt said the prisoners were well known—that was another lucky escape they had met with. Mr. DUNBAR advised them not to take anything in pledge before obtaining a pawnbroker's license. In answer to the CHAIRMAN, the Learned Gentleman said the prisoner's story was that the handkerchief was left with them for money to be paid next evening. Charles Barber was indicted for stealing a silver watch from the shop of Mr. Creswell, pawnbroker, Newington. On the 9th August the prisoner drove his hand through the window and ran away with the watch in his hand. He was pursued, and the watch found upon him. He told the con stable that he intended to do it, because he wished to be transported. Two witnesses deposed that the prisoner was subject to fits, which weakened his intellect. He had always borne an honest character. ' The Gaoler said that the prisoner had fits in gaol. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to the mercy of the Court. He was sentenced to one week's imprisonment, and then to be given into the care of his friends. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) TOWN-HALL. VAGRANCY.—Jeffrey La Costa, a dingy son of Africa, was this morning brought before Mr. Alderman BROWN, charged by police constable Driscoll, 20 M, with begging on London Bridge. Mr. Alderman BROWN—WeII, my boy, what have you to say to this ? You have no business to beg about the streets. La Costa, in very good English, said that about three months ago, he came over from Demerara in a ship called the Ludlow, the name of whose captain was Pearson. That he had promised him, when he left Demerara, he would take him back there again ; but as soon as he got him here he deserted him. He had tried, since then, to get employment, but had not been able. Mr. Alderman BROWN said that the case of the prisoner was to be commiserated, and inquired of the officers whether something in the way of getting employment could not be done for him ? Kinsey stated that he had no doubt he could get him on board a ship, but then ho would require a fit -out of clothes. Mr. Newman, the Chief Clerk, said that the worthy Al derman could make an order by which he might be fitted out with clothes. Mr. Alderman BROWN expressed his readiness to give the required order, directing the prisoner to be taken care of for a few days. - - - Kinsey after talking with the prisoner stated to the worthy Alderman that he did not think the prisoner would accept his kind offer. He had told him that a doctor of the name of Rattenbury had offered to find him clothes and to get him a situation on board a ship. Mr. Alderman BROWN—Very well, let him do just as he likes, only let him understand that if he is brought here again for begging he will be sent to Brixton. He is a subject of commisseration at present, but if he is brought here again he must be punished. Washington Irving, we hear, is likely to pay a visit to England in the course of next spring. The reduction of the omnibus fares on the Pad dington. road has led to the revival of the old saying of " Gi ve the knave a groat." The Radicals have been for the last fortnight en deavouring to get up a Radical dinner for Messrs. C. Wood and Protheroe, at Halifax, but still require more time, and it is not to take place till the last day of the present month, when it is likely to be a failure. The weather for the last three days has been favour able for the harvest, but it is still cold in the shade.—Glasgow Herald of Monday. The Duke of Devonshire has had but little com pany at Chatsworth this week. Lord Melbourne, Hon. Mr., Mrs., and Miss Ponsonby, Rev. C. Smith, &c,, have been visiting his Grace.—Derbyshire Courier. The harvest in the Isle of Wight was completed last week, with the exception of a few backward-sown oats. Such has been already the coldness of the nights, eeil in sheltered situttioils, has ueeit within a few degrees of_" freezing."

Ole Bull, Bochsa, Curioni, and Miss Bruce, are just returned from a most successful tour in the western coun ties. During their journey, their average receipts have been four hundred and fifty pounds a week. A strong excitement has prevailed for the last week or two at Horncastle, in consequence of the, refusal of the pa rishioners in vestry to grant a rate for the necessary expendi ture of the church. The influential inhabitants being, it is said, averse to attend vestry meetings, because anything but sober discussion and calm reasoning prevailed there, deter mined not to he overborne by a mere show of numbers, and demanded a poll. This commenced on Friday evening week, was adjourned till Monday, and was continued till Wednesday at noon, when it finally closed, the numbers being -242 for the rate, and 270 against it; majority against the rate, 28. —Don caster Gazette.

The whole of the locks inside were picked, with the exception of that on the sideboard, which was forced open. The servants had taken the plate up to the bed-rooms, leaving only a few trifling things below ; and the house being about to be closed, prior to Doncaster races, the thieves were disappointed in not finding a large sum in the bank, as they no doubt anticipated. A WHIRLWIND.—A phenomenon of a most extra ordinary description excited the consternation of the rural inhabitants of Membury on Tuesday. It appeared in the form of a dense mass or column of vapour, agitated by a strong whirling current of the atmosphere, by which it was propelled near the surface of the earth with fearful velocity. Passing over the fields of reaped corn, it scattered the sheaves through the air in all directions, and would, no doubt, have caused con siderable injury to cattle or human beings had its course of movement brought it in contact with such objects; but fortu nately its progre ss was i n t erru pt e d by more formidable ob stacles, and its force dissipated without any disasters of this sort occurring. The movement of this humid phenomenon was accompanied with a loud whizzing sound, and, as stated by some, occasionally emitting luminous fiery sparks ; but this latter app earance was no doubt an illusion of vision, arising from the great impulsive power by which it was kept in me tion.—Scotsman.
